Wearable smart devices are coming more and more into our lives. The quantified self-movement is becoming mature and could lead to a new way of looking at personal health. We might be on the verge of a new form of preventive healthcare, based on in depth insights, facts and figures of our existing behavior and attitudes, and act on if necessary. This could completely change the way we look at our health. This paper gives an overview of the different aspects of self-monitoring. We especially want to learn about the awareness these devices create to reach the goals that will be set by participants in this research. Research method used: N =10 will be wearing Body Media armbands and using the Body Media Activity manager to monitor their progress and goals for two periods of two months. One in the fall and one in the spring. The gap in between will allow to see if the participants spontaneously continue to track themselves. The two periods are in different season offering a different perspective as well. N=10 control group with no armbands, but will be participating in the surveys and interviews during the same periods set up for the experimental group.
